Delicious and tasty vegan lentils with aubergine, courgette, tandoori masala spices, paprika and cinnamon - spectacular! Nothing to envy to traditional lentils.

 

So says the creator of this delicacy, Silvana Ruíz López, whose recipe is published on Cookpad. She is encouraged to prepare these lentils with pumpkin and with an exotic touch such as tandoori masala spices.

 

Tandoori masala, from India and Pakistan, is a mixture of spices traditionally used in dishes cooked in the tandoor oven (cylindrical oven made of clay) to cook food with charcoal. Tandoori masala could therefore be translated as tandoor oven spice blend.

 

Masala means spice mix, and its ingredients include: chilli powder or cayenne chillies, coriander, garlic powder, black pepper, cinnamon, cumin, fennel, ginger, onion powder, turmeric, cloves, cardamom, fenugreek seed, onion powder, mace (or nutmeg), basil ... an explosion of flavour. ...an explosion of flavour that brightens up many dishes and which in these lentils is ideal for the mixture of flavours together with the pumpkin.
